This is the second trailer for the Russian movie Viking and apparently makes the plot clearer

Some of those Russian movies look awesome and this one is no exception.
Better than the endless parade of comic book movies or console game tie-ins from Hollywood.
Makes me think about learning to speak Russian  :o

That looks really cool, although some subtitles would be nice!

Not sure what's going on, but there look to be Byzantines in it!

 This looks really good! I wonder if it's the story of Vladimir and his conversion of the Pagans?

Interesting... although I'm rather surprised, it seems the film is called "Viking" (Russian: Викинг)?

I always understood that the Russians did not call their Swede invaders "Vikings", but "Varangians" (Russian: Варяги)...

If the film calls them "Vikings", I suspect that it's to satisfy a worldwide public... and that certainly means less authenticity...? :'(

It does look great, but like virtually all modern Dark Age films you see a distinct lack of chainmail which at least the lords and household warriors should be equipped with imho.  ;) That said it does look cool. 8)
